Motorcycle Accident related Concussion
Concussions are a type of brain injury that may result from a motorcycle accident. Concussions happen when impact to the head causes the brain to bang into your skull.
Symptoms of Concussions
Since concussions are internal injuries, they are not always easy to detect. Symptoms of concussions generally fall into four main categories and include:
- Difficulty thinking clearly
- Difficulty concentrating
- Difficulty recalling new information
- Mood swings, easily upset or angered
- Sadness or anxiety
- Sleeping more or less than usual
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Headache
- Blurred or fuzzy vision
- Nausea and vomiting
- Dizziness
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Problems with balance
- Fatigue

It’s important to get medical care when you have a concussion. While most people recover with rest, some concussions may be more serious and complications can arise. In the most severe cases, surgery may be needed to correct problems and prevent brain damage and permanent disability.
